Hello from France, near Paris

[Gregoire]

Hi, I used to paint miniatures as a teenager.
I quit that activity for several decades but I happily resumed it 5 or 6 years ago.
I paint all kind of miniatures (historical, fantasy etc.)
I prefer larger scales 70mm and above

Happy to be here
Gregoire

Welcome to the Planet, Gregoire! I look forward to seeing your work.
Did you ever buy figures from Art Miniature, formerly in Paris? They had great figures from the 18th century, including some very nice civilian vignettes.

Prost!

No I didn't sorry I didn't know about this brand/store either.

Welcome aboard Gregoire,
You will very soon discover that this is a very friendly forum and one of the very few where talent goes hand in hand with good intentions and decency.Contrary to what happens elsewhere on PF even the most gifted are always willing to share and help and this is what makes PF such a great place to be.You can post unreservedly and you will no doubt receive constructive criticism and will be urged to keep going and progress.Some great inspiration is also on the menu as there are many brilliant modellers amongst us.

I remember them.Nice range.A couple of years ago they went online for a brief space of time.Apparently the owner had transfered his family and business to Madagaskar and had uploaded his existing line on his FB page.I had contacted him and he had informed me that soon there was going to be an online shop and new releases.After a brief time he stopped posting figure related pics and was only uploading photos from his life on the island.I stopped following him for quite a while and the algorithm stopped his posts from appearing on my wall soon afterwards.Don't know what he is currently doing but I'm pretty sure the Online Shop and resuming of business was a plan that did not go forward.

Thanks Oda, that's very encouraging !

C'est un bon forum, les membres sont tolérants..... et aujourd'hui les pages se traduisent très vite avec les traducteurs en ligne, donc je ne crois pas que ça pose de problème.

Yeah, that's what I saw, too. I was surprised when all of a sudden, the mailing address was in Madagascar. But the website was still up. Today, though, the old/original website is dark, and I haven't found that it's been replaced.

I really liked his Ancien Regime subjects, especially the civilian vignettes. I remember "The Visit" and "Chocolate", with a lady and her maid serving up a cup of hot chocolate. I wish now I had ordered them when I first saw them. I just "wish-listed" them-not through any feature of the website; I just intended to place orders at some future date. If he's still trading, that's great and I'll have to find out how to reach him.

Prost!

My thoughts exactly Brad.I also liked his civilian subjects and some of his more rare and outlandish military ones.I was always postponing buying them too.
